EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative advertisement, issued by The National Savings Committee in London during World War II in 1941, encourages citizens to buy 3% Defence Bonds in support of the war effort. The image of a British tank charging forward, with the caption "When the axis crumbles before the thunder of British tanks," creates a sense of urgency and determination. The text emphasizes the importance of total war effort, and the need for everyone to do their part, no matter how small, to help Britain win the war. The advertisement also highlights the importance of saving and investing in Defence Bonds, rather than spending money on luxuries. The text states that "We need MORE tanks, MORE aeroplanes, MORE destroyers - and MORE savings to help win the war." This message underscores the crucial role that financial contributions played in the war effort, and the government's call for citizens to borrow and invest in the war effort. The advertisement was published during a critical period in the war, when the outcome was uncertain, and the need for resources and support was great. The use of strong language and imagery was intended to encourage a sense of patriotism and duty among the population, and to inspire them to do their part in the war effort. The National Savings Committee, established in 1916, played a significant role in financing the war effort by encouraging citizens to save and invest in government bonds. This advertisement is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and commitment required during wartime, and the important role that individual actions can play in shaping the course of history.
